If anyone can come up with a personal "good job " story from this mythical Master Gunsmith,Ed Landers dude please post it.
I nearly feel bad for the guy,as he lets Ed do the talking.
Ed you asked why I had not heard of him?
Of course I have...I have only heard the reams & reams of stuff here, it has all been, well , lets say not so Good..Thats what I have heard of your mate Mr Landers..Mr Ed

Ed, I don't know what he charged for that hideous Parker sleeving job, but if you offered more cash, could he do a better job?
I find it hard to believe that a top notch Gunsmith such as Old Ed,who,as you say,might possibly the only one in this entire country , who, according to you, is able to regulate badly sleeved bbls done by other guys would let out such crappy looking work with his esteemed name on it.
You sir , are full of Shit if you think that sleeving job on that Parker is anywhere near Good Work, no matter how cheap

franc: you claim to be from nh, but you have only heard of ed lander through this forum? you must not know many other gun guys around here? most everybody I know here who has in interest in guns knows of or knows ed lander... old ed has been a practicing general gunsmith in new england since 1946, when he opened his first shop in lakeville, ma. he moved his shop back to his place of origin in nh, in the early seventies and has been doing good work there ever since...

as to a hideous sleeving job, I don't know what you are talking about. and wether you like something or not, does not give you license to spew forth insults and name calling that are not appropriate. you should be ashamed of yourself for soiling this fine forum with your uncordial post above.

Bullshit mate..that sleeving job is as I said ,bloody horrible & looks like it was done by a chimp.I haven't really called Ed any bad names...just said what I thought of his work, which in that picture looks pretty damn shoddy.
As of yet, I haven't been given a Time Out for soiling this fine forum for uncordial posts as I believe you have...you are the king of spew mate.
How the bloody hell do you know how many Gunsmiths I know?...but I usually am interested in guys who do first rate work....Abe Chaber has done some great stuff for me, & I have been up to Crossed Chisels den a couple of times ...do they count?
whatever......

franc: again, not sure what sleeve job you are referring too...

and I never suggested the number of gunsmiths you know...however, it does seem odd that if you are in fact from nh or eastern mass, that you would not have heard of old ed...

but then, I don't know of an abe chaber nor crossed chisels in nh either.

what is their claim to fame and where are they in nh?

I would guess that a lot of people would like a set of original barrels ,yes firing a gun with pitted over size barrels is nice , but if it's sleeved and it's done right it will shoot just as well ,and giving an old girl a new lease of life ....ie new chokes ,the point is it's a tool
If you can't shoot it it's a scrap .....does not matter what posh name it's got on it ,it's just scrap

markus: what you say is so true.

problem is sleeving jobs usually cost one to two thousand dollars, depending on what level of finish work you are willing to pay for. so, from a cost vs. return stand point, sleeving is
hard to justify for field grade guns.

for 12 ga guns, there is a $600 alternative. briley makes 26" light weigh 20 gauge insert tube sets. after custom fitting, one could then shoot 20 ga field loads in there old 12 bore. whats more, these tube sets have interchangeable choke tubes! it has been my experience that they pattern beautifully in 28" and 30" guns. I have customers who love this option.

markus: just noticed that you are in the uk. what do sleeve jobs cost over there?

Franc,
we both know what good gunsmiths do with guns and what hacks/plumbers do,one looks at some of the torched/sleeved crap Ed is defending and you know which catagory they belong in-don't let that clown bully you.

Ed Good and his gunsmith Landers should BOTH retire,don't know if its bad eyes (and stuck cap key) or just being deceptive-one look at his bogus return policy and crappy pics tell me the latter !


Look at this POS Parker, who in their right mind put a torch to gun and then attempt"s to SELL it to some unsuspecting buyer ??
Landers crappy sleeve jobs,like the torched guns bring the value of the gun down to 35% at auctions-and lots of laughter !

that parker isn't good looking,Roger im with you on the sleeved gun and the torch job on the parker i wonder if the heat affected the structural integrity of the parker. there are many good gunmith's that won't do this kind of work at any price.
